A funeral home in Poland issued an unusual apology on Saturday after a corpse that it was transporting fell out of a hearse and into traffic.
Polish media reported that a man was driving down a street Friday in Stalowa Wola, a city in south-eastern Poland, when he first saw a sheet on his car window. When the sheet slid down, he saw a body lying on the road. For a moment the driver feared that he had hit the person. Local media published an image of the corpse lying on a white striped pedestrian crossing where it tumbled out of the hearse.
The company transporting the corpse, Hades Funeral Services, issued a statement Saturday taking responsibility for the incident and blaming a technical failure of the hearse. “It is with deep regret that we inform you that as a result of an unexpected technical failure of the electric tailgate lock in the hearse, during the transport of the body of the deceased, an unfortunate event occurred which does not reflect the high standards of our company, our deep empathy towards the families of the deceased, and the respect we always show to the deceased,” the company wrote in a statement posted on its website.

There’s a joke in there somewhere.
I guess if I ever Knew “Hades” was also the name of the god of the underworld, I forgot it. Just humorous name for a funeral home I think.
Blaming a technical failure of the hearse.
Pssst DEI transporting driver.
if the corpse had translated to Heaven, that would have been an even bigger news story
Was it Ayatollah Khomeini? (again)
I feel so AWFUL, but I couldn’t help chuckling a moment after reading that.
A pastor joke.
A man contacted his pastor telling him that his wife had died and they need to bring her into town for burial.
The pastor came out and they loaded the wife in the wagon.
As they rounded a curve, they hit a big bump and the wife bounced out of the wagon.
As they were picking her up they realized that she was ALIVE! Praise God they exclaimed and went back home.
Some time later the man contacted the pastor telling him that his wife had indeed died.
So the pastor came out again and they loaded the wife in the wagon, and headed off for town.
As they came upon that curve with the big bump, the man told the pastor, be careful now, this is where we had that trouble the last time.

I hope I go out like that....
Seen that a hundred times in old comedy skits.
Dying to get out?
If it was was woman who fell out, was she was drop dead gorgeous.
No wonder there are Polish jokes.
Lemme tall ya’ something, I deal with funeral homes and they really really hate when this crap happens.
It’s just a flesh wound.
I must have a unique sense of humor because I can actually see the humor in the situation.
Pfffft.
Life happens, even after death.
